Pray this Lazaroo with full confidence in God:

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
(Daniel 3:17-18)

I know You can do it, Jesus.

I just don’t know if You will do it!

But this much I know:

You’ll do what’s best.

And I’ll trust You no matter which.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Nebuchadnezzar said to them “…if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”
(Daniel 3:14-15)

He was about to find out, wasn’t he, Jesus?

I don’t know how many Christians have died under similar circumstances.

But this time, You had enough of his disrespect.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct…”
(2 Peter 2:12)

It’s hard to believe there are people like this, Jesus!

You’ve created us all in Your Image.

Some of us act like it most of the time.
Others seldom act like it.

But sadly, none of us acts like it all of the time.

Please forgive me for the times
when I’ve acted like an animal!

and may I increasingly
reflect Your likeness.

Pray this Lazaroo in corrected gratitude:

“Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies? For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.”
(Habakkuk 2:18)

I’ve never carved an idol, Jesus.

I would never do such a thing.

But am I trusting anything I’ve created?
Anything some other human has created?

Do I think they have the power to

heal me
make me happy
put food on my table?

I know better than that!

Only You, LORD!
Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…astrologers came forward and…said to King Nebuchadnezzar, ‘…Your Majesty has issued a decree that…whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews …who…neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.’”
(Daniel 3:8-12)

These conniving enemies of Yours thought they had it all figured out, Jesus.

But they were wrong!

You were about to turn their schemes back on them.

I’d sincerely appreciate it if You’d do the same

to all my unrepentant enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered understanding:

“…if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

That explains so much, Jesus –

why some people instantly respond to the good news about You
and others in the same room at the same time reject Your love.

With everything in me:

Thank You for lifting the veil from my mind!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.”
(Daniel 3:6-7)

That was a no-brainer for everyone, Jesus.

Well…almost everyone.

There were a handful of Your people
who knew better.

May I always be numbered among that handful!

Pray this Lazaroo in total awareness:

“King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the image he had set up.”
(Daniel 3:1-2)

King Nebuchadnezzar got a bit full of himself, didn’t he, Jesus?

He thought he had made himself great.

He hadn’t.

As with every one of my accomplishments

it’s all You.
